About me

Hi! I'm Evaristo. I'm a sophomore at the University of Notre Dame studying Electrical Engineering, with a minor in Innovation & Entrepreneurship.

I’ve always been curious about how things work and how I can make them better. That curiosity took me from Academic Olympiads in Brazil to a summer program at MIT, where I explored VR game design and programming. In high school, I built an Arduino-based gadget and application that turns sound into light to help deaf drivers and co-authored a scientific article on the project.

At Notre Dame, I’m diving deeper into research, consulting, and leadership. I’m a Líder Estudar fellow, I’m on the Travel Team for Bosch in the Student International Business Council (SIBC), and the Vice-President of IEEE Notre Dame Student Branch. I’m also involved in experimental aviation with the EAA, and I like bringing an engineering mindset to new spaces, whether that's a business pitch or a line of code.
